You Might be Old Savannah if ...

  • You say you're a Savannian.
  • You played in the Big Park as a kid, and refuse to call it Forsyth.
  • You know Sherman's Headquarters was the Green-Meldrim house, but won't tell the tourists.
  • You know Savannah has two malls: the Mall and the New Mall.
  • You remember when it wasn't cool to grow up on the Westside (yeah, I did, till I was nine.)
  • You remember when it WAS cool to grow up in Windsor Forest (yeah, I did, after I was nine.)
  • You remember when Abercorn Street was dirt past Dutchtown Road.
  • You remember Dutchtown Road.
  • You know better than to talk about anyone in town, because at least one person listening is related.
  • You have black and white pictures of your parents walking on Broughton Street.
  • You are Catholic, Jewish, or Protestant. Or were before you converted. Okay, Greek Orthodox, but that's kinda Catholic without a Pope.
  • If you're Catholic you are Irish, Italian or Cajun, and by birth or marriage related to everyone else of that national origin.
  • You know the humps on Drayton were formed by paving over trolley car tracks.
  • You don't know how many squares there are in Savannah, don't care, and can't name more than three.
  • You know what "The Free State of Chatham" is, and why it's called that.
  • You know what the Eastside and Star were, but never understood the need.
